Paulinho hails Premier League quality

Paulinho hails the competitive nature of the Premier League as six of its Brazilian exports win call-ups to their national team.

Paulinho has hailed the competitive nature of the Premier League after six of its Brazilian exports won call-ups to their national team for the World Cup.

The Tottenham Hotspur midfielder was one of six Brazil internationals who made Luis Felipe Scolari's 23-man squad for next month's competition.

Consequently, Paulinho has urged his compatriots to make the most of their respective spells in England's top flight.

He told Lancenet: "I see that the Premier League is growing and year after year their players are doing their job the best way they can.

"It's not because the players that were called up play here, but this is one of the strongest leagues in the world and we have to enjoy the Premier League."

Chelsea's quartet of Oscar, Willian, David Luiz and Ramires also earned call-ups, along with Manchester City's Fernandinho.
